Getting wi(4) cards talking between -stable & -current ???

Greetings!

I've been wrestling getting two identical Lucent WaveLan Silvers talking
to each other. It works if I set it up on two -stable systems, but
-stable and -current cannot see each other it seems.
This also does not work in 5.1, but 5.0 works like a charm....

I can see the link blink on the cards for the traffic they generate, but
see no reaction to the transmissions from the other card whatsoever..

The wi driver in -current seem to be out of sync with ifconfig/wicontrol
as wicontrol warns about -p (I use adhoc mode):
warning: flag p deprecated, migrate to ifconfig mediaopt
and ifconfig with mediaopt says its not configured ??

Ideas very welcome!!

ifconfig from -stable:

wi0: flags=8843<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> mtu 1500
        inet 194.192.25.157 netmask 0xfffffffc broadcast 194.192.25.159
        ether 00:02:2d:0d:27:8b
        media: IEEE 802.11 Wireless Ethernet autoselect (DS/2Mbps <adhoc>)
        status: associated
        ssid "FreeBSD IBSS" 1:""
        stationname "FreeBSD WaveLAN/IEEE node"
        channel 3 authmode OPEN powersavemode OFF powersavesleep 100
        wepmode OFF weptxkey 1

ifconfig from -current:
wi0: flags=8843<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> mtu 1500
        inet 194.192.25.158 netmask 0xfffffffc broadcast 194.192.25.159
        ether 00:02:2d:01:7d:e9
        media: IEEE 802.11 Wireless Ethernet autoselect (DS/2Mbps <flag0,adhoc>)
        status: associated
        ssid ""
        stationname "FreeBSD WaveLAN/IEEE node"
        channel 3 authmode OPEN powersavemode OFF powersavesleep 100
        wepmode OFF weptxkey 1
